https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igcesxk3Is0 -- A British Rail ad inspired to f* by the movie.

This is the Night Mail crossing the border,
bringing the cheque and the postal order.
Letters for the rich, letters for the poor,
the shop at the corner and the girl next door.
Pulling up Beattock a steady climb,
the gradient's against her, but she's on time.

Passing the shunter intent on its toil,
moving the coke and the coal and the oil.
Girders for bridges, plastic for fridges.
Bricks for the site are required by tonight.
Grimy and grey is the engine's reflection,
down to the docks for the metal collection.

And a song sampling some version of the poem

Ah, Britain's Railway. Directed by Hugh Hudson with music by Vangelis, who previously worked together on Chariots of Fire. Even now it still stands up.

I remember seeing a picture of that seat on /r/ once. Always thought it was an off peak measure where they installed the seats manually. Never knew it was automatic. Oh those nifty Japanese!

Talgo sets have always been adaptable to any gauge. Especially since there are no axles between the wheels.

I have a very vague recollection of reading that somewhere, now that you mention it.

>>132711
They've had a few running in Spain for a few years now. It's very neat to see the gauge change in person.
On a slightly unrelated note: does this wheel set design prevent Talgo from designing EMUs?

Until I clicked on the YouTube video, I thought it might be this...

I think showing a couple of impacts is more than enough. What difference does it make if it takes 30 seconds, a mile, two minutes, whatever, to stop after it hits your car? The important part is that it definitely won't stop BEFORE it hits the car.

And that's a train full of empties. It makes a big difference if it's filled with loads.

>>132678 -- Oh, you poshcock!

>>132681 -- One has to tattoo it into some heads that even a relatively small and light train is enough to drive you six feet under.

"Play where it lay!"

"But that's the railroad tracks, and I hear a train coming!"

"Not my problem that you hooked it on the train tracks!"

They did get the trains right in the movie.

Too many good images to post.

>I keep seeing this Thin Controller guy these days after trying to catch up. Did the Fat Controller die?

The Thin Controller runs the narrow gauge railway up in the Sodor mountains. There is an interchange there where the standard gauge engines drop off things for the narrow gauge engines.

Heck no, I'm a Pixar/3D cgi fan. Seen Brave 20x, Frozen 12x, Inside Out 9x, Hotel Transylvania 10x, just to list a ~very~ small portion of some that I have seen.

> They did get the trains right in the movie.

They did, right down to the gentle swaying of the passenger cars as it decelerated on approach to the station. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of rail activity in this motion pic. Her journey to the city, the subway car (a la "Speed") sharing the track with that oncoming freight, the elevated HSR in the mouse sector of the city, and the LRT.

It was part of an earlier search.

For some reason, it crashed into Zootopia cosplay search.

Picture kinda related?

I'll let you judge.

Talking about class warfare gets him really steamed.

How was the 126 experience? I was thinking of taking it as a warm-up "At The Throttle" experience before shelling out the big bux for something like 611 or 1309.

>>132616
It was a lot of fun, definitely a unique experience. Shortest 30 minutes of my life, but still I feel it was worth it.
